Water Everywhere!

Ms Katie and I drove across Alberta, Saskatchewan and into North Dakota to return the US. There was water everywhere!


The fields looked like lakes;
The rivers looked like reservoirs;
The tree tops looked like bushes.

Water crept up to the roof lines;
Water covered the rail road bed;
Water filled the medians and lapped at the edges of the highway;
Water covered the highway and made lesser roads impassable.

On the left was a dry rise just large enough for a barn.
On the right was another rise with standing horses and nowhere for them to go.
In the gas station, two women lamented the loss of their homes, their livelihood and their independence.

Prayers for these women, their families and others who have lost their homes.
Prayers for the loss of jobs, income and security.
Prayers that the needed aid will come quickly and be enough.
Prayers for the people who must decide when to hold and when to release the abundance of water.
